Blog Post: Time to get some common questions answered


posted Friday, August 15, 2008 1:48 PM

Hi, this is Bill Kasko , President and CEO of Frontline Source Group, Inc.: a temporary staffing and direct hire employment placement agency based out of Dallas , TX .  There are a number of questions that come up in the job search process.  In a student based survey, here we can examine the perceptions of people throughout the search process regarding themes and questions that come into play. 

What do job hunters (or in this case, the students) think? What do managers want? What do new hires know? These are just a few great questions and I am sure you have asked yourself during the hiring process before. It is now time to get some answers!!!

Students say that employers are seeking:

·          Good writing and communication skills—a top priority regardless of your career choice

·          Leadership skills

·          Time management skills

·          Confidence, but not over-confidence

·          Willingness to start at the bottom

·          Studying the company ahead of time to save time in training

·          Treating your classes like you are at work

·          Openness to a wide variety of opportunities

·          In an interview, show that the company is #1 on your list and know in advance what you will likely be doing

·          Willingness to work in teams

Employers say that they are looking for new hires who are:

·          Personable

·          Upbeat

·          Not intimidated to ask questions

·          Have analytical thinking

·          Don’t need continuous supervision

·          Firm but not overbearing

·          Have prior work experience

·          Goal-driven

·          Willing to take on the unknown

·          Punctual

New hires say these are the skills that employers notice:

·          Communicate effectively

·          Manage your time well

·          Focus on customer service

·          Ask lots of questions

·          Accept change

·          Manage stressful situations

·          "Job shadow" a veteran staff member

·          Network

·          Have patience in the hiring process

·          Take your time learning the ropes
